It's been bugging me for quiet some time now. But today I just couldn't take it.
Could it be the exhaust manifold heat shields? They are fairly cracked and rusted.

What else should I look at?
 
Get a rubber mallet, get safety glasses, crawl all around underneath and beat the snot out of various places on the exhaust, frame, suspension, and body. Keep your mouth shut while under the rig. Ain't nothing falling worth eating. Catalytic converter heat shield, muffler heat shield attached to the body, exhaust hanger missing, manifold heat shields, bushing on upper shock mount. These were all the things making noise on mine.
 
Heat shields or exhaust hangers.
 
It was exactly the exhaust manifold heat shields.
Removed them and took it for a test drive and noise was gone. Even encouraged me to floor it a bit haha

Are there any aftermarket heat shields? I can't justify the cost for new OEM ones..
 
I welded mine back together and used really big washers. Part out section is also your friend.
